Chapter 19 Battle Plan and Training Regimes Set

In the Super/Main Universe

The group had just finished witnessing villains from each other's reality switch places and start chaos and massacres. Super Goten now felt extremely guilty as he was the one who caused the Timeline Window to malfunction and zap these evil beings into those universes. Meanwhile, GT Goten was panicking while GD Goten was having a full blown mental breakdown. "What am I gonna do?! Pan doesn't stand a chance against that monster!" GT Goten shouted running in circles frantically. "It's all my fault! Kill me, kill me right now! If I die, he'll die too! Please just end this nightmare! Please!" GD Goten shrieked out on his knees crying his eyes out pleading for anyone to end the nightmare that was his life for good. "Enough!" MC Goten yelled out making his GT and GD counterparts stop their episodes. "We can't just sit here crying, we need to get back to our universes and take those sons of bitches down!" MC Goten said with a mix of anger and confidence him wanting to avenge his mother and grandpa Ox. "You won't win, none of you will" IW Goten said sternly. "What?! The fuck are you talking about?!" MC Goten yelled back angrily. "None of you are strong enough to handle these foes. Aside from Cell, all the other ones are God tier in terms of power, and the ones from my universe are something else entirely, meanwhile half of you have hardly trained at all and the other half haven't trained hard enough". IW Goten said very seriously. "I don't care! Your psycho twin brother just killed my mother in cold blood! I'm not waiting another second to tear him limp from limp!" MC Goten yelled in a fury. "Fine! Don't wanna take my word for it? Then I'll show you just what you'll be up against!" IW Goten shouted in frustration before letting out a scream as he began to power up. Everyone except Shadow was frozen in shock, awe and slightly fear as IW Goten's hair and aura turned into a light green color, his pupils disappeared, his muscles expanded barely contained within his armor growing a few inches taller and four oozaru like fangs grew in his gritting teeth. IW Goten settled standing in his new beastly form growling sounding like a wild animal his voice a bit deeper than before. After a few moments he abruptly dropped out of the form falling to his knees panting hard. "T-t-that power i-it was higher than mine a-at full power!" Beerus exclaimed stutteringly in shock. "Holy shit..." GT Goten muttered, "you're that strong?!". "Yes" Shadow said answering for his comrade who was still trying to catch his breath, "I'm just behind him in terms of power, we along with the rest of our team and resistance soldiers have gone up against Shredder and his forces many times all together, but almost every time we go up against any of his generals including Xavier, we lose and we lose badly and quickly, and they all bow down to Shredder without a second to waste whenever he just speaks to them. If you try to go after Xavier in your reality or Cell when he is surrounded by Shredder himself and his generals in ours right now, you might as well be writing your tombstone. And to top it all off there's no telling how strong Phoenix is or what kind of tricks he has up his sleeves". MC and GT Goten's heads dipped down as the weight of their impossible chances of saving their homes and loved ones in their realities got to them. "So... there's nothing we can do?" GT Trunks asked also glum. "Of course there is!" IW Goten shouted angrily, "you guys need to train, and I mean really train! Not some friendly sparing match for games! You need to be hurt! Bleeding! Try to kill each other! Learn which bones you can afford to get broken and still fight!". The MC and GT universe visitors looked at themselves and each other unsure if they can do that level of intense training. "It's your only shot of beating these demons and if you don't they'll destroy you and everything, everyone you love" Shadow added. With determination the MC and GT universe balled up their fists nodded accepting what needed to be done. "Alright I'm in" MC Goten said standing up front determined. "So am I" MC Krillin said walking to right next to his former pupil. "I'm not letting some demented freak version of me hurt my niece or anyone else, I'm gonna do it, how about you old pal?" GT Goten asked GT Trunks. "I'm with you buddy, he's hurt my sister too, we'll get him if it's last thing we do" Trunks said anger in his voice. "About time you two grew a backbone, there's hope for you yet" MC Goten commented smirking. GD Goten felt inspired by his other selves, their friends and their bravery. Now he felt like he should join in too. After all one of the foes was technically half of himself and he promised his IW counterpart earlier that he would train to protect his home universe from destruction after he got it back, so this could be his chance to prove himself capable of that. "I'm training too!" GD Goten announced getting everyone's attention and surprise. "A-are you sure? We can take care of this if you just want to wait here and take it easy, you've been through enough" MC Krillin asked assuringly. "No! I'm joining in, you said so your self, you need all the strength you can get, besides I need to be strong enough to protect my home from future threats and Goku's recklessness after we revive it. Plus Phoenix is my dark half so some of this is my fault. I'll never be able to live with myself or face my family if I don't at least try" GD Goten explained passionately. Everyone smiled and/or smirked at GD Goten's reasoning and spirit. "Right on Goten! Err Uh me... god this is weird he he he" GT Goten said awkwardly laughing sheepishly. "Hey!" Super Goten shouted getting everyone's attention, "I'm coming with you". "What?! No your not young man!" Chi chi shrieked nearly bursting everyone's ear drums. "I can't do much to these versions of you that I didn't raise, but do you really think I'm letting my Goten go and fight a bunch of ungodly freaks and monsters across the multiverse!" Chi chi kept screaming at the top of her lungs. "Mom, I'm the one that broke into Bulma's machine and caused it to zap them here and their enemies, some of which shouldn't even exist anymore into their realities. I'm the reason this is all happening and I need to help fix it. I can only do that though if I get stronger" Super Goten reasoned with seriousness never seen in him before and it caused Chi chi to freeze in place. "Besides" Super Goten continued turning towards the group of his alternate universe selves and their friends, "even though I don't have as much problems with my Dad, Trunks or his dad like some of you do, I too want to be able to protect myself and the ones I care about and not rely on them forever. As you all have shown me, eventually their luck will run out or they'll simply not make it in time to save me or somebody else. I've been on the sidelines for too long, it's time I rise up and become a real fighter!". Once again everyone smiled proud that Super Goten was taking instigative and wanting to improve himself though chi chi's smile was tainted with worry. "Hey I know you don't want to rely on me, but I can join you in training?" Super Trunks asked putting his hand on Super Goten. "Yeah absolutely!" Super Goten yelled in excitement and approval. IW Goten grumbled a little under his breath but he stopped quickly before anyone saw. "Don't count me out" Piccolo said walking forward with a smirk on his face. "Like I'm gonna let Kakarot's spawn have all the fun! Frieza's mine!" Vegeta boasted lunching forward with a cocky sadistic grin. "Let me help out bros" Gohan said also stepping forward. Goku with a small apologetic smile slowly walked towards the growing group of warriors and their supporters. "I'll help too, in anyway I can" Goku said in a unusually low and calm voice with some sorrow mixed in. The group of warriors all turned towards Goku and instantly gained looks ranging from uncertainty and annoyed to angered and scared. "Uh dad I'm not so sure if-" GT Goten started to lament before GD Goten interrupted with a furious scream. "Absolutely not Goku! Do you think I'm an idiot!? I don't want you anywhere near any of the fighting! I will not let you ruin our mission and get us all killed again! If you dare intervene, I'll kill you myself! It's going to be you before anyone else!" GD Goten yelled out enraged. "I agree, piss off Dad! The last thing we need is your selfish and retarded bullshit behavior! I never needed you before and I certainly don't need you now! And neither do any of us!" MC Goten yelled backing up his GD counterpart. "Father I think it would be best if you just stayed out of this, I too am untrusting of your judgment and all this anger and hostility within the team will only create more obstacles and slow down progress and we don't have much time" IW Goten explained calmly though there was a clear undertone of anger and resentment in his voice. Goku became very solemn and lowered his head in shame and hopelessness. GT and Super Goten looked at their father and their alternate selves with sadness and sympathy. They understood where their counterparts were coming from, but they still loved Goku and wanted to give him a chance. "Look I know you guys don't have much or any reason to trust our dad given everything he did or didn't do in your universes. But you need to understand, this isn't the same Goku you three knew. He's similar but he might be different then yours were. Plus he's seen the mistakes his other selves made in your pasts, so he's far less likely to make those mistakes again now" Super Goten reasoned. "He's right, if you recall from my past, my dad was fairly mature and responsible, at least compared to how yours were. That to me means that there's a least a chance that his dad won't screw up so let's give him the chance" GT Goten said backing up his Super counterpart. IW and MC Goten looked down in thought considering their counterparts argument while GD Goten held his furious disposition. "We could use his help" MC Krillin said to MC Goten, "and you aren't exactly perfect yourself, you've had your impulsive moments too yet I put up with it and now I trust you, can't you do the same for him?". MC Goten's face faltered at his long time friend and master's reasoning. "Bringing Goku into this is definitely a gamble, but a gamble is better than certain annihilation at the hands of these foes" Shadow stated to IW and GD Goten. IW Goten's hardened resolve softened and understood where his partner was saying. "Very well, I guess we can try" IW Goten said changing his mind. "I hate this, but I hate Xavier more and I don't wanna lose my home so I guess I can tolerate this" MC Goten relents putting his distrust aside. GD Goten stood shaking in rage and indecisiveness. He just couldn't let go of his hatred towards Goku but he also knew he might need him to defeat their common enemies. Half of him felt like killing Goku and taking there chances without him. However he ultimately decided that doing so would just make him look bad again and upset his Super counterpart. Plus he needed to get stronger fast and if Goku was good for anything it was that. "Fine Goku, but I will be watching you every damn second and if I suspect for even a fraction of one that you're gonna do something stupid or reckless and endanger us, you'll wish Zeno had erased you" GD Goten complied threateningly growling in a low, deadly voice. "Thank you son, I won't let you down I promise" Goku said grateful with a smile though GD Goten just let out an angry sigh turning back to look at his IW counterpart. "So where can we train and get stronger in a short amount of time?" GD Goten asked. "If this reality has the hyperbolic time champer or gravity rooms then we can train in one or both of them, that's how I got to where I am right now!" MC Goten suggested boasting and flexing his muscles a little. "That might work for us and you two" Shadow said looking at GT Goten and Trunks, "however being that you've already used it multiple times I'm not sure it would be effective for you anymore". "There's also Beerus's planet and whis's training, that could work well for you as it would be god training like you did with Zamasu and you to push yourself beyond your limits once again" Vegeta suggested to MC and GD Goten. "Ooo I'd love some other people to train under me, it'll be a nice change of pace!" Whis said gleefully. "Hmph I guess I'll allow it" Beerus grumbled though it was just to hide the fact that he too was curious as to what the Gotens could achieve under his angel attendance's training. "How about this" Piccolo said getting everyone's attention, "how about me and Gohan take these four with us into the time chamber" Piccolo said gesturing towards Shadow, IW and GT Goten and GT Trunks. "Perfect, then me and Kakarot will take them to Beerus's planet and have Whis train us" Vegeta stated looking at MC Krillin, Super Trunks and MC, GD and Super Goten. "Then let's get going, the sooner we get stronger the better" IW Goten said. "Alright let's head to the lookout" Gohan said. "I'll take us there, Chaos Control!" Shadow shouted as he took the Chaos emeralds and warped him and his training crew to the lookout. "Are you ready to depart?" Whis asked walking towards the other training party. "Well you guys ready!" Goku asked his crew enthusiastically trying to lighten the mood. "Yeah!" Super Goten responded joyfully running up to his Dad with Super Trunks. "Yeah let's do this!" MC Goten said determined to avenge his mother and grandfather marching up with MC Krillin. GD Goten stood in place staring daggers at Goku for a few moments before begrudgingly walking towards him and the group with a low growl. "Alright off we go" Whis said wistfully allowing the training party and Beerus grab him on his back before tapping his staff beaming them into the cosmos set to arrive on Beerus's world in about twenty minutes. Will they be able to attain the strength to defeat the multiversal threats and what will the evil foes do in the meantime? Only time, however bended and twisted it is, will tell.
